First week

Every morning at 5 or so in the morning I have woken up to the roosters here.  Then all the dogs bark in the morning.  The past week/weekend there have been nonstop fireworks all the time.  And by fireworks I mean ones ten times louder than the United States.  The kind that are probably illegeal in our country.  They are so loud that they set car alarms off all day long.  Kids have been setting them off for some kind of holiday.

Today is the weekend and we took a long bus ride to the Andes.  We went up pretty high for a three or four hour bus ride stopping occasionally to eat or take pictures.  The Andes are absolutely beautiful and the pictures don't do justice.  A lot of us got sick from going up so high and our ears popping so much.  On the bus rides here they blast music obnoxiously loud so we got to jam out the whole way.

Pictures just don't do justice
